Ty Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Has anyone been to Leicester out of interest? Nope, was going to head down there to watch my mate fight tonight though.

gechal Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Am I the only person on planet earth who thinks Spain and their style of football is not the best thing since sliced bread? I think there is an argument that says their football is quite defensive? They keep the ball with the mentality that if the opposition do not have the ball, they cannot score. They could force the play more maybe. There is no doubt that their football is effective, but breathtaking? No , not for me. I actually thought France were one team that could have beat them, they have the ability to be as patent on the ball as Spain, and at times showed that they can pass around Spain's pressing game. Shame. I really want Spain to get beat so we can see A little more of a competitive game of football. They pass and press teams into submission. Good luck to them , but man, its dull to watch at times. Its not a fashionable point of view, but there you go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I like some of the attacking off the ball movement and passing of Spain at times but for me they are not as exciting to watch as Germany or even Portugal. If they had a proper striker on the field I think I would like watching them play more but as it is it's too possession based with too many passes meant to keep possession rather than a riskier pass to try and create a chance. Everyone has different opinions on how football should be played for me personally I like a direct attacking side over a tippy tappy passing side.

There is no doubt that their football is effective, but breathtaking? No I actually massively agree with you. Generally speaking I get bored shitless watching Spain play. Tonight they were just as dull as they usually are. And yes, with or without a striker, the way they play is very defensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gechal Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I think that COD games are good, but you need reactions of a cat to be able to compete. You are up against teenagers who are on it 24/7 , there is no way a working man who has a life outside video games can ever hope to compete. Private games with a bunch of friends is good fun though. I've always wanted to play an online game that involves tactical thinking and not just running around getting killed 100 times and just carrying on. Id love to find an online shooter that, if you got killed once, it mattered. Game over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I honestly believe England can do a Chelsea. I think we will get past Italy 1-0 to be honest. Germany will be a different kettle of fish but I think we can beat them, even if it went to penalties. There is just something about this England squad in this tournament which is never say die!!!

gechal Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Its brutal football, it must be so hard to play against them, mentally as much as physically. Some of Germany's play last night was the best I've seen so far, but if they play as high as that against England after we beat Italy, I think they are vulnerable to pace on the break. The best football is winning football, and I've always thought defensive football is the most effective, I've loved England more this time that any tourney since Euro 96, because they are playing the best way for the players they have. I've just never seen defensive football played the way Spain play it before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pouring with rain and looks like nighttime outside, on occasions like this, after a tiring day we sometimes call a " pygama day". Does what it says on the tin, we don't even get dressed, bum around the house. Although I have to pop out quickly and sort getting Thursday off at work for hopefully England's semi final. But , true to the spirit of pygama day I'm not going to iron my clothes it have a desperately needed shave, out and back in again ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I'm not a big tactics man. I've tried before, I think at the start of FM12 where I created a 4-2-3-1. I was messaging Heath about it and he was on about he likes to replicate how Granada play in real life with a few tweaks. I said I liked how Forest played under Davies. Good free flowing football at home and hard to break down away. It worked for a while but then stopped. I'm shocking at tactics and it's what puts me off as I'm not any good at them.

Nottingham Forest Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yeah, but I never understand why half of these tactics work. It's like, whenever I edit the player roles directly the advanced bit, they never work. It does my head in and I revert them back to default and we do well. I don't think that it helps that at the moment, most of my Alfreton side are on part-time deals as they never went full-time and I couldn't afford to offer them full-time deals.

heathxxx Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I just stick to something fairly simple with the TC, bring in players to suit each of the roles I'm using, then utilise the shouts. I'm also not afraid to rotate players in my squad. The most frustrating aspect for me with FM, is the "morale" & team-talks aspects. The amount of times I see completely illogical reactions to perfectly logical team-talks, is the most perplexing part of the game. Same with private chats.
